About V-P Kangas
We all have our own story and we all get touched by other people’s stories. When there is love between two people, their individual stories are joined together to start a whole new story. My goal is to help you get amazing pictures of your wedding day - pictures that show the story of your love.
I am an international, award-winning wedding photographer based in Helsinki, Finland. I have received numerous international awards from all the major wedding associations (WPJA, AGWPJA and ISPWP and Fearless Photographers). I’m very blessed that photography has taken me to many places around the world, and I have had a chance to live both in the US and Europe. I have also had the privilege of leading many workshops. Many of my pictures have been published in several Finnish news papers, including Helsingin Sanomat, the largest subscription newspaper in the Nordic countries.
Photography chose me. I used to be a professional musician but I had to give up my career due to a shoulder injury. During that time of transition, I met my wife, the one who changed my life and passion more than I could have ever imagined. I found photography through her.
For me, photography is all about capturing moments - moments and emotions that make your wedding day so unique.
I would be honoured to be a part of your wedding. I love traveling and I’m available for weddings internationally.
Hope to hear from you!
